For the ultimate in chain saw safety, Saw Buck™ chain saw chaps include a para-aramid material as the key protective component. Two layers of woven para-aramid and two layers of para-aramid felt combine to form a four-ply protective layer that is, pound for pound, five times stronger than steel. Four adjustable leg straps and a nylon web belt provide a secure fit. Lightweight and flexible for easy movement. Chaps are washable and weigh 2 lbs. Available in green or orange. USA made. Specify length (as measured from belt loop to bottom) and color from selection box above.

I had 1 of my employees in these chaps. He wasn't paying attention and ended up having the saw kick back into his upper thigh. The chaps stopped the saw and he was hopping around with an idling chainsaw stuck to the chaps - they said it was interesting to watch. The bottom line is that the saw never made it through the chaps and he never even tore his jeans. We reordered a new pair and swear by them

Have to still get used to them but after a friend nearly self-amputated his leg last year with a chainsaw (and he's a lot more experienced than I am) I saw first hand the folly of not using chaps - these seem reasonably comfortable, adjustable and I don't think will take long to get used to. They seem sturdy and reliable. I hope not to find out how protective they actually are.

The overall quality of the components is OK. The first time my husband used them he heard something tear. I had to resew the waistband back to the top of the chaps on one leg Was not expecting that. We'll see how they do next year.
